Problems with 2005 Ford Escape SEAT BELTS

Airbag light is yellow. was told my airbags will not inflate in a accident. the unit that controls the airbags also controls the locks on the doors. the doors no longer lock on take off. doesn't warn you that the front passenger isn't seat belted in. the unit is under the console and is hard to replace so i was told and would cost me over $500. which i can't afford. i feel it is a safety issue that should be covered by ford motor company. i was told not enough owners are having a problem with this therefore it isn't a recall issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. the contact moved the vehicle to the shoulder and was able to restart it after several attempts. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the technician stated that the ignition coil, spark plug, and the power control module would have to be replaced. the parts were replaced but the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. the pcm was replaced a second time along with the battery. the vehicle was repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 97,500. updated 02/26/13*lj also, the air bag light illuminated. the dealer cleared the cods for the connection on the drivers side seat belt buckle

1. on or near november 19, 2011, a spring from the clutch pedal broke. it seems to be one that returns the pedal to its default position as i have to lift up on it from beneath with my foot to get it back to its regular height. i'm concerned that it may cause premature wear on the clutch if it does not return to its standard rest position. the spring broke while the car was parked before driving. --------------------------------- 2. in late 2011, i began to notice the driver's seat belt begin to fray on the bottom (lap side). this is my first experience with a seat belt wearing out, and i generally keep my vehicles at least ten years (all previously owned). i've had this one for only 3 1/2 years and it's a total of 6 years old. *tr

Rear center seat belt retractor seizes in fully retracted position, precluding center seat passenger from securing seatbelt. *tr

Starting approx. december 20, 2007 the drivers side seat belt began to "stick". when the driver tries to unbuckle the seatbelt it will not unbuckle after the first, second or sometimes third attempt. this could be a potential threat to the driver in the event the driver must unbuckle quickly. *tr
